	Greetings to all, this is Andrea.  It is good to be back with my small
group in your attempts to learn and understand the words we bring to you for
development of the spiritual life that you seek.  The problems that exist lie
in your materialistic world, in trying to bring balance and harmony to your
everyday lives to be what our Father and His son wish for you to be.  The
conversations that took place this evening were informative, in a way, to help
understand the problems that we, your celestial friends, had when we first
found our pupils that we were assigned to.
	Tonight I would like to bring a little work that you can do at home and
to be discussed at our next meeting.  This is:  What is your own personal
concept between the religions of today and the teachings that our master
wished when he was a mortal on this planet?  I would like to know each one's
own idea what the difference is between the two.  Where did it start and now
progresses in the years that followed, even to this day?  You have witnessed
many things and read a lot of instructions and books to believe as you
believe.  What has brought about the belief as you believe this day?
	The reason I ask you this is so we can know the thoughts of each one in
our progression to a new way of understanding and teaching you what is missing
in this road of life that you seek.  Your longings to be of more service to
our savior is an overwhelming joy to us, to have our students seek and find
the truth and knowledge that each one seeks.  Your own personal belief and
willingness to carry on is another way of us teachers finding out what we can
improve in our students to help you grasp the meanings of the love and
generosity of that love that has been given to you so freely and abundantly,
to help you to bring forth, and encouraging you to increase your spirituality
in the thoughts that you carry from day to day, and in your attempt to do all
you can to foster the beliefs that each one has.  This will be a guideline for
the advanced student learning that is now becoming the focus of each one.
	I stated some time ago that we are now on a new journey of learning, and
this is part of that learning.  So, each one of us, including us, your
celestial friends and teachers, has mutual thoughts and understanding of what
it is that we wish to be able to answer the questions that each one of you
has.  Yes, we know that all of you have an abundance of questions, but in
doing this it will give us, your teachers and celestial friends, a clear and
open mind to know the needs of each of our students.
	When we meet later on I would like to be brought up in your
conversations before we reach the point of us TRing.  I know I have presented
a big effort to you, and it will take a lot of thinking of how you will state
the beliefs and your understanding of the problems I have presented to you. 
Yet there is no better way than to bring all this out into the open, so we can
all understand the difference that each one sees in their own personal and
living trust in our Father and His son in their endeavors to bring about this
planet Urantia to the wants of Him that was at the beginning of all things. 
He has given His son the sovereign jurisdiction over your planet and those
that walk this planet.  He has the power to give and take away, but He is not
worried about taking away.  He wants you to learn and in the process learn of
what the future may bring to you and the advancement that you will have when
you reach this world that we dwell in.
	This is the reason that we have come to you and taken you as our
students, to dwell upon the thoughts of encouragement, love, and understanding
and what the meanings of the words are that we bring and also what the words
you read mean to you personally.  What does it really mean to you?  We have an
idea, but it's not complete without your expressing your own personal feelings
in your search for the true light that you want to be a part of.  I say,
"true".  This is a big order in the word itself, because your seeking of the
truth is well imbedded in each one's heart and mind to increase your knowledge
of what it really is that we work on so diligently each time we come together. 
Your thoughts, your wants, and your life all have a meaning in this new
learning process that we are attempting.
	Yes, there will be times that there will be diversions thrown at you,
not for the sake of detouring you to other roads, but to see how steadfast you
are in your beliefs and in your willingness to serve as we all are serving the
two that rest on high.
	I am like you mortals because I have the same beliefs and wants that
each one of you has.  Your abilities to learn and us teaching you, not only
from the teachers that we have had, but also from your own personal teachers,
the experience that you have already gone through and will go through in the
future to come will be a great help for you in the future.
	So, I ask you to do this so each one of the teachers will be able to
help you along this road you walk and shine your light brighter with all the
joy that you can muster in knowing that you gave it all you had to accomplish
what you will accomplish and be a part of, because of the knowledge that has
been given you.
	I know tonight is kind of short, my students, and there are other things
that we, your teachers, must do.  I will close for now, wishing each one of
you Godspeed and God's understanding that each one seeks now and in the
future.  With this I will say farewell for now.  This is Andrea.  Farewell.
